Managing Reactions to Stressors

So what we typically look for is like we said, like somewhere in the fifties for the heart rate is pretty good. As long as it's there in the fifties and it's there well-trained, uh, some people will come to you and there's going to be some issues. I was, did a consult with a girl today that's gone through a very stressful few years. She has a heart rate of 46, but it's a heart rate of 46 because her thyroid is not working correctly anymore. She's got hypothyroidism. She's got some adrenal issues and things that we're working through. And the main thing to do for that is we've got to teach her better stress management. So we have to get tactics and more routine and then also change her perception of how that stress bothers her. So instead of allowing certain stressors, like something I usually tell people is like, you have, you have a kid, so you'll understand this, right? So if you, if, if I have you write down all the stressors that you deal with every day and I say, okay, some of these stressors you're going to be able to get rid of. Some of them, you have to learn how to manage your reaction to those. Like if you, if, if, if your kid was a common stressor, it would probably not be very feasible for you to sell her to gypsies because that would be really frowned upon. But what we can do is give you more tactics on how do I control my response when my kid's up all night with a tummy ache because she ate too much candy or whatever the, whatever the thing is. if you've got a car that's beat up and it's causing you problems and you can, that's something you can get rid of. So you have to learn, what do I have? What can I get rid of and what can I manage? And then how do I learn how to manage that stuff better? Right. And a lot of cases too, people are just training too hard. You get a guy, a CEO, CFO of a company, CO, whatever, they come in their executive, they're working 16, 18 hours a day. Like their entire life revolves around work. And then they come into you and you say, okay, we're going to put you on a 12 week transformation and then I'm just going to beat your dick in the dirt. And that's the last thing that that client really needs. What that client really needs is to balance out their metabolism. Um, because a lot of their energy systems are going to be going the wrong way. So for instance, if you, you have high resting heart rate, or let's say you wake up, if you woke up, uh, tomorrow, you wake up tomorrow and you have 85 beats per minute, I can guarantee you when you go to squat a 12 rep match, your legs are going to be on fire between three to four or five reps because you have put yourself in a position where you've ramped the glycolysis up too much, which is not normal. And you're not actually going to be able to oxidize fats and carbohydrates properly like you're supposed to. So when you start driving those energy systems out of the way, that's part of that calories in versus calories at equation. You know, that is your, your, how many calories are you making from the food? How many calories are you making from, or how much ATP and how much energy are you making from that stored glycogen? And if you're turning through in proper, really inefficient pathways, you're not making a whole lot. So you're going to be very, very fatigued, and that's going to lower the amount of calories you're actually burning through, if that makes sense. No, that makes good sense, and that's a good point. And the hard part about that is, especially when you get those types of clients, usually they're coming in and saying, usually they're type A people and they're coming in and saying, I need a diet and I need to have you kick my ass for four or five days a week so that I can get to said goal. And that comes back to part of actually listening to what's going on in their life. What sort of stressors and amount are they dealing with? And then you telling them, you know, what it is that they need. No, actually, that may be what you think you need. But what you actually need is to chill the heck out and, you know,
